TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a widespread macroalga often involved in blooms, Ulva spp., to investigate how supply of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), the two main potential growth-limiting nutrients, influence macroalgal growth in temperate and tropical coastal waters ranging from low-to high-nutrient supplies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors published a paper entitled "Marine Ecology Progress Series 368 (2008): 117-126, doi:10.3354/meps07564.

TL;DR: This essay reviews two important topics in coastal ecology: the work on the relative role of bottom–up and top–down controls in natural communities and the loss of wetlands worldwide.

TL;DR: To examine how eutrophica- tion and hypoxia might alter consumer assemblages, benthic communities in 2 sub- estuaries of Waquoit Bay, Massachusetts, were surveyed, and omnivores shifted their diets from an omnivorous diet that is mainly carnivorous in the oligotrophic estuary to feeding mainly as herbivores in the eutrophicEstuary, where prey were scarce and macroalgae were abundant.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an in situ nitrate fertilization experiment between 7 and 22 July 2004, with fronds of Ulva lactuca collected from estuaries with high and low N loads in Waquoit Bay, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA (N 41° and W 70°).
